Episode 422: How Lilac City Comicon bloomed in Spokane
Manage episode 258627116 series 1260515
Spokane has had a few comicons come and go over the years, but Lilac City Comicon has stood out. That's partially because it keeps going, but also because it keep growing. That's largely thanks to one man, Nathan O'Brien, who believed that the geek community east of the Cascade Mountains is strong enough for a decent comicon. This is Lilac's journey.
Also, news headlines including:
- The coronavirus pandemic is affecting the video game industry, delaying the release of some games. Tim Cullings with Seattle Indies provides some insight.
- Blue Origin is the latest NW company to help out in the fight against COVID-19. This is how.
- Despite being a serious issue, the pandemic has prompted plenty of memes, misinformation, and conspiracy theories that are spreading throughout social media. We go through a few notable examples, and Brandon gets a surprise quiz.
Personal corner: Brandon has a big announcement. But he needs advice some more experienced nerds out there.
